All right, sounds to me like Zola is about to kick the door.

Zola: test Strength with a d20!

Volley has used his drone suit to gain access to the roof and will prepare to roll a grenade at the unsuspecting turret.

Would you like to use a Glitch to make that a success?

Volley: roll me a Presence test! (d20)

I shall use a glitch. Is that an automatic success or a reroll?

Automatic success in this case.

Assuming the door has been booted in, I'll quickly follow up with a flash grenade.

8 + 2 = 10

If that fails and I have a glitch, I'll use it.

It fails, and you don't have a glitch!

+ + +

Having prepared a rudimentary plan of attack, the punks put it into action.

Volley activates his drone suit and flies up to the warehouse roof. Landing atop it, he runs along the roof and lobs an ePulse grenade at the auto-turret. A direct hit. The pulse damages the circuitry of the machine, but it doesn't shut down.

Meanwhile, Zola kicks the warehouse side door with his boot. It doesn't give, but then there's a sudden rewind in space-time, and he does it again. This time the door lock buckles and the door flies open with a loud bang!

At almost exactly the same time, Sen leans in and lobs a flashbang into the doorway. Unfortunately his aim is poor and the stun grenade bounces off one of the crates and goes wide. It makes a loud noise and a bright flash, but all it does it get the Virid Vipers' attention. The goons grab their shotguns and dash into cover behind whichever nearest crates they can find, then fire their shotguns at the doorway.

+ + +

Zola and Sen: You are in 'heavy cover' around the doorway. You each need to roll a Agility test (d20 +/- your Agility stat).

+ + +

Meanwhile, on the roof, the damaged auto-turret whirrs around on its axis, locks on to Volley and begins blasting its rapid-fire autocannons at him.

+ + +

Volley: test Agility! (d20)
